Microsoft Windows 8 Enterprise Activation

I decided to install Windows 8 Enterprise soon after it was released. The install was painless, but activating turned out to be a bit of a pain to say the least.

To activate you have 2 options. You can use either use the command line or the gui.

To use the command line, open a command line and type in the following:

slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

to get to the run command use the windows key combination : Windows key + R

Using the gui:

use the key combination described above and type in :

slui.exe 3

and you get the following dialogue box which makes it easy to activate your copy of Windows 8

Hope that helps!
